Hey! The unusual attention to Idaho by Dems continues! And for another rare chance to put Idaho's changing political climate on the map – I've already "voted" for LaRocco on Russ Fiengolds "Progressive Patriots" site at http://www.progressivepatriotsfund.com/pickapatriot/vote-senate-challengers-1.html and suggest/request, most respectfully, that everyone else make sure they do too.

Onwards!
